The presence of active foci and history of human\u2010 and flea\u2010transmitted plague in northwest Iran prompted the present group to collect and identify fleas from human and livestock dwellings across West Azerbaijan Province. Adult fleas were collected and identified using routine taxonomic keys. Species designation was confirmed by sequencing the cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI). Of the collected specimens (\n n<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u2009989), 104 were collected off\u2010host (30 from human dwellings and 74 in light traps) and the rest were found on hosts (107 on animals and 778 by human bait). Of these fleas, 394 (40%) were male and 595 (60%) were female. The collected specimens belonged to the species\n Ctenocephalides canis<\/jats:italic>\n ,\n \n C<\/jats:styled-content>\n tenocephalides\n felis<\/jats:styled-content>\n <\/jats:italic>\n ,\n \n C<\/jats:styled-content>\n tenocephalides\n orientis<\/jats:styled-content>\n <\/jats:italic>\n and\n \n Pulex irritans<\/jats:italic>\n (all: Siphonaptera: Pulicidae)\n <\/jats:styled-content>\n . The amplified COI fragment, in addition to confirming the morphological identification of species, showed good efficacy in separating the different species in the phylogenetic analysis. In addition to the identification of fleas from human and livestock dwellings using morphological and molecular characteristics, the current paper represents the first report of the presence of\n \n C.\u00a0orientis<\/jats:italic>\n <\/jats:styled-content>\n in northwest Iran. This finding suggests that changing climate conditions may have expanded the distribution of this species.\n <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/mve.12308","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,5,29]],"date-time":"2018-05-29T02:14:46Z","timestamp":1527560086000},"page":"383-387","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Evidence for the presence of\n Ctenocephalides orientis<\/i>\n in livestock dwellings in northwest Iran"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"32","author":[{"given":"S.
